Global Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Pheromones Market: Overview Pheromone are the chemical molecules secreted by insects in the environment. The pheromones are released to signal their other mates for a food source or as an alert. Thus, these pheromones acts a communication between the insects spread across the field. Integrated pest management (IPM) is a method or approach towards preventing damage from pests in the farm field. IPM pheromones are synthetically manufactured which exactly imitates the naturally secreted pheromones. Thus, it helps in growing the crops in a healthy manner. The pheromones can be classified based on the interaction medium as aggregation, alarm or sex pheromones. IPM pheromones create an unfavourable situation for the further growth of pest. The IPM pheromones are used in one of the four control approaches as biological control, cultural control, mechanical and physical control and chemical control. The chemicals used for manufacture of pheromones ar

Bleaching Clay Market: Overview Bleaching clay refers to a category of clay which has relatively high adsorption power for decolorizing and refining oils and fats. The primary source material for bleaching clay is montmorillonite which can also be referred as hydrated aluminium silicates, which imparts indispensable adsorption characteristics to bleaching clays. Since the early 19 th  century, natural bleaching clays have been used for the refining of edible oils and fats, however, the activation process further enhances its properties which includes its adsorptive, acid, catalytic and ion exchange capacities. Vegetable and Mineral oil contains a variegated range of impurities like carotenes, chlorophylls, coupled with other complex impurities such as soaps, oxidation products and metals. Activated bleaching clay can effectively remove these impurities, and imparts improved appearance and flavours to these oils. The global bleaching clay competitive landscape also includes companie

Global Captan Market: Overview Captan is a white or pale yellowish brown-colored compound. It is a fungicide which belongs to the class of Phthalimides. In its pure form captan is a colorless crystal having a pungent smell. It is generally used as a pesticide as well as mixed with other components to form a pesticide mixture, which has better effectiveness. The U.S. Environment Protection Agency classified captan as a Class 4 toxic chemical, which means it is practically non toxic. However when in higher concentration, it is nauseating to the human eyes and skin. Captan is disease-resistant to vegetables, fruits and ornamental plants. Accounting to its wide applications, captan is useful in both agricultural and domestic uses. The U.S Environment Protection Agency stated captan as a potential carcinogen. Although in 2004 it was reclassified as non-toxic as there was no experimental proof found which could support the prediction. Captan is sold under different trade names such as Me
